Mature Leaders Don’t Abuse Power
Mature leaders don’t abuse power just because they have it…
Sometimes people will take shots…
Critics will always be around where there is success and growth…
Mature leaders know when to shoot back and when to let it go…
Imagine the big guy holding the little guys head, while the little guy swings at the big guy, but can never hit him…
If the criticism is valid or the critic is valuable to the organization, then listen and apply as necessary…
If the criticism is not valid or the critic has no real value to the organization…listen, politely, thank them for their time and move on to something more important…
There is no reason to crush a critic just because you have the power to do so…
What are some ways you have seen leaders abuse their power?
(BTW, I have personally abused my power before…so I’m learning to heed my own advice!)
